wise words from a boing boing guest author

Jason Scott of Textfiles.com is Boing Boing’s guestblogger this week. He’s got a nice piece on “The Parties I Missed and the Parties I Didn’t.” Here’s a piece of it:

Having an event be invitation-only and then not getting invited is always a downer. It’s probably not you; it’s just that invitations depend by nature on the right webs of knowledge and trust, and if you’re not in the one that drives the event, then you’re not getting in no matter how much you might deserve to. The solution is simple: Build your own massive web of trust, and then wait for the cross-links to make your world a richer place.

Nicely said. Good perspective.
